So how is everyones gardens growing? I've had a *really* hard time with my boxes. I'm not sure what we did wrong, but everything would grow perfectly and then when the leaves got big, it would start to die out. The leaves would turn yellow and then get crispy edges and then the plants would die. Or just sit there. Not growing a bit.
So...I abandoned the Mel's Mix alone. And went to the dark side, adding in some Miracle Grow Potting soil. I did it about a week ago and made the pictures immediately afterward. And things are looking a teeny bit better. (I think, fingers crossed.)
Droopy Basil
The Tomato Bed
The Main Beds
The cucumbers literally sat like the for weeks. Didn't grow a bit.
And to end on a positive note, the cute little strawberries. They were already planted in half potting soil and half Mel's Mix in a different container (in a place that gets dappled sunlight). They're thriving. And much bigger than in the pic in just a week!
